"Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act...Hope is an embrace of the unknown and the unknowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists. Optimists think it will all be fine without our involvement; pessimists adopt the opposite position; both excuse themselves from acting. It is the belief that what we do matters even though how and when it may matter, who and what it may impact, are not things we can know beforehand. We may not, in fact, know them afterwards either, but they matter all the same..." —Rebecca Solnit
On behalf of Courage of Care and The Health and Environmental Funders Network (HEFN), we warmly invite you to our day-long resourcing retreat on Sunday, September 21 from 10a-4pm.
The event will be hosted at a community house and event space in Ridgewood, NY (on the border of Brooklyn and Queens), that offers us space to gather, reflect, and build connections.
Together, we will engage practices that help us:
resource and strengthen our resilience and felt sense of relationality or interconnection;
address climate anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout;
find ways of slowing down and sensing without succumbing to toxic urgency;
envision and embrace complexity and multiple futures; and
embody a stance of courage and risk to carry forward with grounded, wise hope.
This retreat is scheduled right at the start of Climate Week 2025 in NYC and is open to any and all engaged in climate and environmental justice work. No prior experience necessary; if you feel called to a day of reflection, practice, and community, please join us!
The event includes a vegetarian lunch at our community house and garden.
UPROSE's Climate Justice Lives Here initiative grew out of NYC Climate Week becoming Manhattan-centric and marginalizing frontline communities.
Climate Justice Lives Here represents our commitment to environmental justice in our frontline communities. This week-long series of events brings together activists, community members, and allies to address the climate crisis through the lens of social justice.
Join us in Sunset Park in Brooklyn, New York for a transformative week of climate justice activism, community-led workshops, and environmental justice initiatives.
Grasping at the Roots - a Climate Justice Alliance documentary by filmmakers Leah Derray and Keenan Rhodes - offers an intimate look into the lives of Black Environmental Justice communities as they confront economic hardships, community disruptions, and the realities of climate change. This 35-minute film highlights the resilience and solutions being crafted by those living on the frontlines, advocating for their rights and environment.
Immediately following the screening, join us for light snacks and a powerful discussion on how to maintain environmental justice efforts during political turmoil.
It will be an evening of reflection, learning, and action. This event is not just about viewing a documentary; it’s a call to support environmental justice and amplify voices making a difference amid the current political climate.
This event is Co-Sponsored by the Tishman Environment and Design Center at the New School.
The Tishman Center is a collaborative community of practice that leverages research, policy, and design in accordance with the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing. We bring together research and action to tackle the root causes of climate and environmental injustice and commit to change in higher education practices within and beyond The New School.

At a time when environmental policy, regulations, research, and budgets face unprecedented and systemic attacks, new climate coalitions are emerging, from local neighborhoods to the global stage. These coalitions, powered by the vision and voices of frontline communities, are uniting with policymakers, philanthropy, journalists, and academia to chart a path toward a thriving economy and healthy futures for all.
This Climate Week 2025 keynote will bring together multisector leaders who are building and sustaining these transformative alliances. Moderated by Dr. Ana Isabel Baptista, Director of the Tishman Environment & Design Center, this conversation features U.S. Representative Kathy Castor (FL-14), leading the Thriving Economy Project with SEEC Institute and former Chair of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.
More multi-sectoral speakers will be announced soon.
This event is presented by Tishman Environment and Design Center in collaboration with the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) founded in 1976 and producer of Mother Jones and the public radio show and podcast Reveal, and the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition Institute (SEEC Institute), a nonprofit established in 2023, to increase understanding, build support, and drive action on critical climate and environmental issues.
This event is part of the Tishman Center’s year-long celebration honoring two decades of the evolution and impact of the Center’s work, alongside communities.
Special thanks to the Rachel Carson Council and the Solar Energy Industry Association for their fiscal support of this event.
This event is free and open to the public. We welcome donations to help make it possible. Your support helps the Tishman Center bring in community leaders to participate in Climate Week NYC and experience this event in person.
The advancement and usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has skyrocketed, along with the demand for land, energy, and water to power data centers. If you use AI, are curious about how its growth is affecting the planet, or want to reduce it’s harm then this is the panel for you. Join us to learn how these demands are impacting resources and possible avenues for safeguarding overburdened environmental justice communities.
This 90 minute panel will immediately be followed by a non-alcoholic social hour featuring artwork from Creative Wildfire, where attendees will have an opportunity to socialize with artists, panelists, and others in attendance.
We kindly ask that all adult participants wear masks while attending our event, unless eating or drinking. If you don’t have a KN95 or N95 mask, we will have extras available on site. Thank you for doing your part to help keep our community safe.
This Climate Week, the Tishman Environment and Design Center invites you to a webinar where we will share key findings from a first-of-its-kind policy review and database designed to support the integration of cumulative impacts into state environmental permitting frameworks.
Spurred by the leadership of Environmental Justice advocates, states are increasingly engaging in policymaking to respond to the cumulative environmental and social burdens faced by EJ communities. We invite you to join us as we take a critical look at the growing wave of state policies to address cumulative impacts (CI) in environmental permitting.
Join us as we:
Share trends and patterns in proposed and passed state CI permitting policies
Highlight common frameworks, innovative policy features, as well as potential loopholes and pitfalls, in policy design
Launch and publicize our new database on state-level cumulative impacts policies
Build momentum for academic collaborators to align with frontline needs in CI work
This event is designed for scholars, analysts, technical professionals, and environmental justice advocates committed to developing strong and equitable cumulative impacts policies.
We hope you’ll join us for the conversation. The event is open to all but will require advance registration here.
Upon registration, a confirmation email containing the Zoom link will be sent to you.

Join us for a galvanizing conversation on how grassroots-led climate solutions are not just innovative and scalable, but essential for the systemic change we need.
Environmental justice (EJ) and climate justice (CJ) grassroots communities are building holistic climate solutions that also address complex social issues in a way that puts communities and peoples in charge of their own futures. This work is often mistranslated or inaccurately translated in the “impact” frameworks of funders and policymakers, who may incorrectly perceive this work as too small to tackle the climate crisis effectively, even though these efforts are key to creating healthy and thriving climate-resilient communities.

Are you a boba-loving-transportation-nerd looking for just solutions to the climate crisis? Oh boy - do we have an event for you.
The transportation sector is a key driver in the climate crisis, comprising about a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the consequences of climate change will endanger transportation infrastructure by increasing the severity and frequency of extreme weather events. To meet the moment, it is critical that policymakers and industry leaders make drastic, near-term changes to decarbonize the sector and move toward clean, sustainable transportation solutions.
This panel will bring together civil society and policy experts working to address the negative climate and environmental justice impacts of our current transportation infrastructure with a particular emphasis on skyrocketing emissions from the ecommerce sector.

NEW TIME AND LOCATION
7:00-8:45 PM EST
Kellen Auditorium,
Bhopal is the Hiroshima of the petrochemical industry.
This December 3rd, 2024, marks the 40th anniversary of the 1984 Bhopal disaster when a poorly maintained pesticide factory leaked a massive cloud of chemical gas into Bhopal, a densely populated Indian city. The negligence of Union Carbide along with the governments of the United States of America and India directly contributed to this ongoing crisis.
Frontline environmental justice communities in the U.S. share a joint fight and understanding with those in Bhopal, India. The Bhopal struggle for corporate accountability mirrors struggles in Louisiana and West Virginia against Dow Chemical and other multinational corporations for decades of environmental injustices from petrochemical production. It has been close to 40 years since the disaster and those who struggle in Bhopal stand alongside survivors of numerous other chemical disasters that are still fighting to protect their community, like those impacted by the Trinity atom bomb tests in New Mexico to East Palestine, Ohio. The environmental justice movement is global.
The Food Studies Program, The Tishman Environment and Design Center, and the Food and Social Justice Action Research Lab (FJAR) at The New School are honored to present this multi-media panel event featuring author, sound practitioner, and DJ Lynnée Denise; artist, curator, mother, and producer Elissa Blount Moorhead; and Assistant Professor of Race and Media in the School of Media Studies at The New School Dr. Brittnay Proctor-Habil. The event is part of the Food Studies Program’s “Food, Foraging, and Social Justice” series and The New School’s Earth Month activities. It is also co-sponsored by the SexTech Lab and the Gender and Sexualities Studies Institute at The New School.

This Event has reached capacity for now. You can join the waitlist here, and as seats open up, we will add names from the waitlist based on the order in which we receive your request. All event attendees and waitlist registrants will receive a video recording of the event.
To navigate our current climate reality, we must imagine a better climate future. Join visionaries Stacey Abrams (Rewiring America) and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson (Urban Ocean Lab) for an in-depth conversation about imagining better futures, finding hope and motivation for continued action, and where climate solutions are already taking root. Esteemed multi-disciplinary artist Aisha Shillingford (Intelligent Mischief) will guide an interactive visioning exercise to help us collectively articulate the climate futures we want and how we can start building them now.
